She's been advised to make some follow-up appointments so that the issue can be examined much closer.
Despite their medical issues, the couple recently just announced they're expecting another boy. "We're really excited about having another son," Jill said. "I know that Israel and this little one will be best friends... Our pregnancy so far, I had morning sickness in the first trimester and now I'm feeling a lot better in my second trimester."
